Hello to everybody, I just joined and here are a few photos of my build up to this point for your comments. The hull is plank on frame construction and the superstructure of 1/32 plywood
All the weapons have been scratchbuild and at the moment I am working in the bridge area.
I hope you like it up to this point

KostasT, first of all welcome to Armorama, espeically the "floaty side." To show your pictures properly you need to "close" the image by putting a / in front of img after the photo. Try editing your post like that.
edit:I get the dreaded red X when I tried to fix one of the photos. It might be because the gallery site is down right now.

Hi Kostas
Welcome aboard Armorama, and especially to Warships!!
As for your built, it looks good so far;
The only thing that I noticed that needed a little touch up is the black paint of the Bow Otto Melara Gun, that has spoiled the alluminium paint - a little retouch and it's clear.
Looking forward to see more progress and more detailing
Keep us posted
